Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici feels the team is in good shape at this stage in the season.
Paratici has heaped praise on the work of manager Antonio Conte.
He said, "We are in a very good moment, not just about winning games but about the performance of the team. The team improved a lot. You enjoy when you watch the team and Antonio has done a fantastic job and the players too. They are working hard. Every day they are so focused, so committed, so we are much better than four or five months before. This is the most important thing for us.
"When we start this project in the beginning of the season, we say we want to rebuild, we want to achieve our target, it's not just about short-term, it's about long-term project. We are in the right direction. If we speak about targets, I repeat, we don't talk about short-term targets but long-term targets, but if we think about two months ago, every one of us and maybe fans, the people around were pessimistic, so pessimistic.
"At the moment it is the opposite. Every one is so optimistic. So I think we have to find the right balance. It's not easy in football because it's so emotional, but our job is to control this and find this type of balance. I don't want to say that it doesn't matter if we arrived fourth or fifth, because it changes a lot in one season. It would change a lot for the club, for the fans, for the players, for everyone of us. So we fight to have the best position that we can but also we have to follow our project.
"Our project is to rebuild the club, to rebuild the team, to be competitive in the long-term, to be competitive every season and to do the best for this club now and in the future. So balance is the right word."
